"Landon really stepped up for us this season," Brown added. "He continues to grow as a runner. We are excited about his progress and what he brings to the team."

SIUE placed seventh overall in the women's 5K. Miller had her fourth top 20 finish of the season, placing 14th while running a PR (17:46.4). Allie Sweatt placed 28th with a PR of 18:15.8.
